Having problems with your Vacuums ?

The rear wheel on my dyson dc01 has come off. i have been sent the real wheel fastner retaining pack but do not know what to do with the bits. There are two metal rings and two semi circular black rings. Can you help?

Answers :

There is a small groove in the end of the stud on the vacuum that the wheel fell off of.\015\012Slide the wheel back on the stud, put the washer on then put the ends of the half clip in the grove on the stud pushing on the back of the clip with a small screwdriver on the clip to lock it back in the groove. The old parts may be still in the wheel if it rattles. There should be a plastic cap on the wheel like a little hubcap, pry it off with a screwdriver carefully so you can put it back on after the clip.\015\012Please rate this solution if it helps you..

I have the IROBOT discovery that just got a new battery. IT ran great! As the battery was dying, I put it into the home base. The "brick" is green, the home base has two green lights and the on/off pulsates red. It never charges though. Eventually the red light stops pulsating. Customer service said to reset it, clean the metal, and nothing works! They told me to just buy another one. The problem is that I know it was working! Help!

The best thing that you can do is take the charger into somewhere that can test it for the proper output voltage. It should be somewhere very close to 22 volts with no fluctuation. The charger is the easiest thing to test in this case. ...

I have an L shaped piece of metal with a hole at one end that fell out of my hoover elite bagged upright vaccuum cleaner. I repaired the belt but don't know where this metal piece goes. I think it has something to do with the wheel assembly which is replaced and it seems to want to stay there. any thoughts

My dyson has two gears as it were! One for normal suction and the other for deeper cleaning. There used to be a real difference in the performance between the two options, also the noise changed when you swithched from one to the other. This no longer occurs. I have taken it apart according to your instruction, cleaned all the various bits but still no luck. The cat fur is still clearly visible despite my best efforts. Can you please help!!!!

I recently ( approx. 2-3 months ago ) purchased a dirt devil. Now it is not picking up properly. When I push vacuum forward it picks dirt up a little bit, when I pull it back all the dirt falls out of the bottom. I replaced the filter today and it has not solved my problem. I dont know where my warranty is. Can you please help me?

Hi sounds like your line is stopped up somewhere , check ur suction an make sure your brushes are spinning, if they are try a wire clothes hanger to the hose at the bottom hose to dislodge anything that mite be stuck ...

The kick stand that lowers the vacuum when in use got in a position where the red foot pedal would not come back up to bring the wheels down and the vacuum rest in the upright position. We took it apart and corrected the position, but the side with the small circular spring came out and we are not sure how to attach it back, exactly where it hooks onto. Can you help show us where it goes?

When I took the base cover off the vacuum to clean the roller, a metal piece that is bent in half, as well as a white plastic stick piece came flying out. I think it might have to do with holding the vacuum in an upright position, but I don't know where it goes. Help!

They go in the slot beside the right wheel. Metal spring first, (the open ends facing away from front of vacuum base. The white nylon piece lays parallel and directly on top of the metal spring, round edge up, and aligned with the open ends of the me ...

Hi,
There is a high pitched whirring sound coming from lower part of the vacuum. When I tilt it toward me (while standing in the normal vacuuming stance) the sound sometimes lessens for a minute or so. I have tried the following things:
-cleaned the two sponge filters
-emptied the dirt receptacle
-removed the roller and cleaned it
-cleaned the brushes
-the belt is not ragged and does not seem floppy
-checked all of the airways for clogs (including removing the wheel base)
Can you help?

I hope you can help a do-it-yourselfer. The paint inside my microwave is beginning to peel and chip off on the bottom under the circular wheel track that facilitates the movement of the round glass plate. Could ignoring this start a fire if I continue to use the appliance? With exactly what product and how can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi\015\012\015\012If you let it stay without re-painting it then it can arc, which will greatly accelerate the charring & rusting processes. If the metal under the glass plate of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded s ...

Hi There
I have got a Kirby 2 HG vaccum cleaner which is around 20 years old now. It was going really well until last week when one of the capacitors which are connected to the brushes blew up. There is two capacitors one for each brush. One of them completely blew to bits and the other one is still intact. My question is are they the same size and where do I get a new one from.
I know it is an old machine, but I would like to fix it and get it going again. Any tips???

On my Eureka Model 1759A (from mid-1980s), the plastic catch that holds the two parts of the metal body together has broken. I would like to replace the part of the catch that attaches to the top (the part with the lip on it), but I can't find the part online ... or even a drawing. Where can I get this part ? ? ? HELP ! ! !

This latch is riveted to the body. If you are lucky you may find an old Eureka warranty/ repair center with one on the shelf, or another canister for parts. That will be your best hope. ...

My Hoover SteamVac has been doing a wonderful job but in two instances, after emptying the dirty water and reattaching the reservoir, the machine has lost suction. The first time I was able to make it work again after taking it apart and putting it back together about 10 times. I don't know what I did that fixed it but as long as it worked again, I was happy. But it's happened again and I can't get it to vacuum. I can see that it isn't clogged. Can you please help me????

Have Model HFQ15A but lost directions. Need to know what the two dials on top of fa n/heater are all about and how to best use this product.
Thanks for your help.

My Triton T80 SI shower is leaking from where the outlet pipe assy joins to the heater can assembly. when I checked where the two join together I see that there is a rubber O ring fitting into a recess in the heater can assy. The screws which hold the two parts together does not force a compression between the two parts causing it to leak. Is there another modified unit or am I stuck with what Ive got and should I replace the O ring or the shower.

After removing the filter, I cannot get to battery on the Dirt Devil Kone M0213, there are two horizontal screws.

Please help or proved a diagram on how to remove the battery.
